Two Oklahoma teenagers used their cellphones from inside a storm shelter to capture video of a deadly tornado that passed through their neighborhood Monday.

"We weren't really expecting it to come our way, but eventually we saw the debris cloud and we knew we had to get in the shelter," said Charles Gafford III, who filmed the twister with his cellphone through a hole in the bunker.

Alex Rodriguez was in the shelter with Gafford and also filmed the storm. The videos were obtained by the Associated Press.

"This side of the street is, like, pretty decent," Rodriguez said of the area where the teens took shelter. "And then you look one street over, and it's just demolished."

The videos show black clouds swirling as debris flies past. The massive tornado blasted through Oklahoma City suburbs, flattening entire neighborhoods, killing at least 24 people and injuring more than 200.
